Abstract

A system, and a corresponding method, for providing a home entertainment device with a modified programme channel. The modified programme channel comprises a schedule of programmes on a programme channel, having modified programme breaks within and/or between the programmes. The system comprises: a programme reception device to receive the programmes on the programme channel; a source of supplementary programme material; output means, coupled to the programme reception device and to the source of supplementary programme material, to output the scheduled programmes and supplementary programme material to the home entertainment device; programme break detection means (such as a clock and/or event handler), coupled to the programme reception device, to detect a break or interruption in a programme; and switching means, responsive to the programme break detection means to switch the output from the programme to the supplementary programme material. Preferably the home entertainment device is a television.
